McCain is a war monger. If you don’t believe me look what he said on the Sunday before the Florida primary…

“It’s a tough war we’re in. It’s not going to be over right away. There’s going to be other wars. I’m sorry to tell you, there’s going to be other wars. We will never surrender but there will be other wars.”

I read that as a prediction that McCain will keep the United States in wars for many many years to com… John McCain intends to be a war president.

Pat Buchanon wrote an excellent article on McCains war stance today. Read it here… The Great Betrayal

Over the weekend John McCain charged Mitt Romney with favoring a set timetable for withdrawal from Iraq. That is a blatant lie and an example of the reckless manner in which his mind works. McCain is well known for his explosive bursts of bad temper… it is his way of intimidating anybody who disagrees with or does not support him.

Without naming him at first, McCain said in Fort Myers, Florida…

“Now, one of my opponents wanted to set a date for withdrawal that would have meant disaster.”

Talking to reporters only minutes later, McCain was even more direct:

“If we surrender and wave a white flag, like Senator Clinton wants to do, and withdraw, as Gov. Romney wanted to do, then there will be chaos, genocide, and the cost of American blood and treasure would be dramatically higher.”

Asked about the comment, Romney said…

“That’s dishonest, to say that I have a specific date. That’s simply wrong, that is not the case. We’ve never said that.”

Here is what Romney actually said in the interview on ABC’s Good Morning America on April 3, 2007. It is clear that Romney said the opposite of what McCain claimed he said.
Robin Roberts said to Romney

“You have also been very vocal in supporting the president and the troop surge. Yet, the American public has lost faith in this war. Do you believe that there should be a timetable in withdrawing the troops?”

To which Romney replied…

“Well, there’s no question but that— the president and Prime Minister al-Maliki have to have a series of timetables and milestones that they speak about. But those shouldn’t be for public pronouncement. You don’t want the enemy to understand how long they have to wait in the weeds until you’re going to be gone. You want to have a series of things you want to see accomplished in terms of the strength of the Iraqi military and the Iraqi police, and the leadership of the Iraqi government.”

Robins then asked…

“So, private, you wouldn’t do it publicly? Because the president has said flat out that he will veto anything the Congress passes about a timetable for troop withdrawals. As president, would you do the same?”

Mitt replied…

“Well, of course, can you imagine a setting where during the Second World War we said to the Germans, gee, if we haven’t reached the Rhine by this date, why, we’ll go home, or if we haven’t gotten this accomplished we’ll pull up and leave? You don’t publish that to your enemy, or they just simply lie in wait until that time. So, of course, you have to work together to create timetables and milestones, but you don’t do that with the opposition.”

Sean Hannity on Fox News is the only news outlet that fully quoted what Romney actually said on GMA… surprisnig? NO! As the New York Times’ recent endorsement of McCain suggests, the liberal media absolutely love him. As a former McCain aide said, that’s because the senator gives reporters total access to him and because he is as liberal as a Democrat on many issues. DUh!

I was watching a video of GOP candidates in debate and John McCain lost what little respect I had for him when he was unable to answer Ron Paul’s question about the economy. He replied with the snide, sneering remark, “we’re going to miss you tomorrow night Ron” (in referrence to the FOX New Hampshire Debate).
 
McCain’s character and integrity is on a par with Giuliani’s, Clinton’s & Bush’s… he is definitely not one to be entrusted with any position of power.
 
Dr. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who would not abuse his government power.

The Ron Paul Presidential Campaign has appointed Don Luskin as his Economic Advisor  

“Ron Paul’s economic plan is the real thing… not just a band-aid”

Ron Paul economic advisor, Donald L. Luskin, has issued the following statement about Dr. Paul’s proposed comprehensive economic revitalization plan:

“Ron Paul’s economic plan is the real thing – a plan. It’s not just a band-aid designed to ‘stimulate’ the economy in an election year. It’s a fundamental agenda for real and lasting change, making the US economy more vibrant and competitive, and removing barriers to advancement for all Americans.”
Donald L. Luskin is Chief Investment Officer for Trend Macrolytics LLC and contributing editor to the National Review Online and SmartMoney.com.  He is also a frequent guest on CNBC, and the author of two books: Index Options and Futures: The Complete Guide and Portfolio Insurance: A Guide to Dynamic Hedging.

Mr. Luskin is available for interviews regarding Congressman Paul’s economic policies.

Shimshon Weisman is possibly the loneliest Ron Paul supporter on Earth… at least he thinks he is. Shimshon lives in Judah, in Israel. I guess that makes him isolated from America, but probably not lonely. He should live in my town in Australia and try being a Ron Paul supporter.

Shimshon has written a letter in support of Ron Paul that deserves repeating, copying and sending to every breathing American. Here is an excerpt from it with a link to the full letter… 

If there is someone better qualified to accept the mantle of leadership, stand aside and let him do so. But if not, if you are qualified, it is not just permissible, but obligatory for you to do so. Dr. Paul didn’t seek this race. He was reluctant. He was skeptical. He knew it would get ugly. He knew about his skeletons. Yet when his supporters drafted him, he assessed the situation and saw there was no one else, and rose up and accepted the challenge. Is he the ideal candidate for the job? Maybe not. Is he too old? Possibly. Is there anyone better prepared to run? No.

After the stinging fifth (but not last) place finish in New Hampshire, and the wide dissemination of the embarrassing old newsletters, I thought it was time to call it quits. Dr. Paul has decided to continue the fight. He has learned from his mistakes and grown from them. His performance in the South Carolina debate shows that. No longer will he let the media steer him off to irrelevant and mocking lines of questioning. I’m sure next time he’ll be prepared when they pull a stunt like turning off his earpiece to make him look foolish. As he said, not at all amused, “make fun buddy.”

Gold is up… so what’s new? Gold hit $914 an ounce today, and the dollar sank to new lows.

Inflation is raging everywhere in the world, and America is in a recession. Gold is up 50% in the last 12 months from $650 in Jan 2007 and rose 50% from $430 in the 18 months before that in Jul 2005.

The US$ has dropped by a similar amount in the same period of time. The only commodity that has not gone up in price compared to the value of Gold is Oil. Gold is the great leveller… isn’t it odd how the REAL price of oil has not risen. It has only risen in price if you compare it to the Fiat US$ currency. The FED prints money to pay for oil in the same way that Adolf Hitler printed Reichsmarks to pay for World War 2.

Gold prices are rising in anticipation of further cuts in US interest rates, high oil prices, and by speculative trading.

Ron Paul is right, stop fighting wars, bring the troops home, and reduce government spending.

Bush says he wants peace in the middle east… so he sells $20 billion worth of high tech arms to Saudi Arabia. What sort of a fuckwit is this guy.

The actual fact is that he wants to escalate tensions and start an all-out war with Iran. Bush has told congress to sell Saudi Arabia sophisticated “Joint Direct Attack Munitions” (Smart Bombs) and related equipment , which includes satellite navigation systems to make sure these bombs hit their Iranian targets when required.

This follows tens of Billions of dollars of arms sales to other Arab nations in the Gulf including the United Arab Emerites and Kuwait.

Well it seems that there may be a recount following oddball results in the New Hampshire primaries held a few days ago. According to the office of the Secretary Of State in Concord, New Hampshire, Dennis Kucinich has filed for a recount.

 A recount of the vote includes every Republican candidate on the ballot, not just Kucinich. Recounting by hand will begin on Wednesday 16th January.

Vote fraud looks to be alive, well and thriving in the good old USA still.

First Ron Paul supporters discovered fraudulent voting records submitted in at least one town in New Hampshire. Several voters were surprised to see zero Ron Paul votes register for the town of Sutton, even though they had just voted there. On being called out, the voting officials changed the vote to 31 for Dr Paul… their excuse was it was a “human error”. At least another 5 towns recorded zero Paul votes enen though their populations suggested it should have been otherwise.

Paul received 8% of the vote statewide, but based on the high counts in manually counted towns compared to machine counted ones, he should have averaged about 15% statewide.

Apparently the Democrat Barack Obama suffered vote fraud also and fellow Democrat Dennis Kucinich went so far as to pay for a recount.

Ron Paul recently warned us that we need to be aware that the Bush administration would probably cause an incident similar to the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 and use it as an excuse to invade or escalate the possibility to invade Iran.

Yesterday the United states lodged a formal diplomatic protest over an incident on the previous weekend when “speedboats” harrassed American “warships” in the Persian Gulf.

It could be starting again folks. Another excuse, another invasion, another undeclared war.
